Diener & Diener (eds.): Common Pavilions (2013)
Filed under book | Tags: · architecture, exhibition, history of architecture
A collection of essays and podcasts by 33 authors on the 29 national pavilions, the setting for both the Art Biennale and the Architecture Biennale in Venice.
“The essays written by architects, historians of art and architecture, artists, and philosophers, discuss the identity of the architecture and its perception in this unique public space. The authors either outline the premises and concepts that underpin the pavilions’ form to develop a loose history of ideas; discuss the ways the pavilions have been outfitted over time; or else talk about their own personal engagement with the architecture. Written in the respective national languages of the pavilions, the essays have been translated for the podcast into English and recorded by actors and presenters.”
Created for an installation for the 13th Architecture Biennale in Venice 2012 by Diener & Diener Architects, Basel.
Photographs by Gabriele Basilico.
